Reminds me of the roomers under mine in the dorm were hitting up my Hawaiian Punch that I put out onto the window ledge (room faced courtyard). So I brought home some phenolphthalein and starting putting it into the Hawaiian Punch that I shared out on the ledge. Besides being an acid/base indicator, it's a laxative, errr was a laxative over the counter. Now it's regulated because of potential carcinogenic traits.

This guy?
On New Years Day my wife organized a potluck dinner for our community in Florida. I helped run the auction which was very successful and we had a lot of laughs. Sold handbags and made up that they were Gucci or Coach. Had some imported coffee mugs.....imported from China.
Anyway, we raised $215 toward a security camera. We don't get too many incidences here but, it would be nice to have a record of who comes in and leaves. The camera would be attached to the clubhouse, and it would record cars as they enter and leave. I see some cameras don't need wiring, that would be a plus. What do I look for as far as performance etc.? Is there a particularly good model? How much does a decent one cost? Let me know if there is a particular one on amazon...that would be a way we could order it. We do have a handyman and some residents who can install it.
Any suggestions are welcome.

As for your security problem, I can't help with that other than to suggest that you otta grab a book on that subject and see what happens.

Over the years there have been some nasty posters who wanted to argue over everything and anything. I always tried to pull my punches and temper my responses but there were others who would take it too far. Then there were some of "us" who would try to prod the troublemakers over the line. They would sometimes explode in a profanity laced rant that would get them banned.
But now, unless the nasty people are in other forums things are pretty mellow and that is the way I like it!

I need some "security" guidance too.
After taking delivery of my fixed van, I noticed that the sliding door doesn't fit. They've adjusted it once and I told them to keep trying. I'm worried about structural stability and safety. There was no obvious damage to the door. When closed the top seams aren't "flush" with the roof and it's obvious when you look, especially when compared to the right side slider.
What say the peanut gallery?
I guess they removed the door during the repair? I can't tell if it is damaged in that pic.

The adjuster is the body shop; they do the estimate and the insurance company decides whether it's a total or repairable. Good idea about asking for another adjuster, since the shop won't be impartial.
I originally came in here looking for info and pricing on a (then) new mid '90s Pontiac Grand Prix with the supercharged v6. Since then, I've had 2-BMWs, 3 Caddys (one of them was my late Mother's), 2 Pontiac Grand Prix (both supercharged), 2 Mustangs (one GT and one Cobra 'vert), 1 Audi, 3 Acura TLs, 1 Honda Accord, 1 Chevy Tahoe, 1 Toyota 4Runner, 1 Mazda RX8, 1 Pontiac Vibe, 1 Hyundai Elantra (in my name, but bought it for my son).
So, what is that? Depending on how you count it, that's 19 cars in 20 years.....roughly! Been posting at Edmunds through all of them.

Why not try putting up a sign like this:
2019 Kia Soul+, 2015 Mustang GT, 2013 Ford F-150, 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible
The camera is mounted on my front porch and captures a very wide view of my front yard as well as the street. The camera it self needed AC power and as I was remodeling my living room and had the internal walls stripped down to the studs it was easy to run the wire into my attic to an outlet I installed for just this purpose.
Pros:
Very clear HD video
Captures sound as well and allows me to speak to people at my door
Camera and video feed can be shared with others
Video data available anywhere your smartphone/tablet or computer have web access
Super simple app design and video access
Alerts to my phone when somebody comes to my porch
Cons:
Wired - Cable can be cut by proactive bad guy/girl
Cost (though IMHO totally worth it!)

Planning to get two - one for the front walkway and one over the garage doors that covers the courtyard between the other properties in my sub-development.
Also, apparently if it is stolen and caught on video, Ring will replace it.
I take that as an insult. :@

FWIW, the sliding doors on Son #1's '08 Town and Country seem to always give him fits. He took it to the dealer a couple of times and they "fixed it" but the "fix" only lasted a week or two at the most. I thought it was "fixed" when the 2 of us gave it a try. That seemed to work for the longest time, a couple years IIRC, then it acted up again. My Son did the next "fix" by himself and never had a problem after that.
I'd offer to come out and help, but with my track record, it probably won't be permanent and I don't want you bad-mouthing me in here about that or worse yet, hiking my dues.
So, get out a couple wrenches and "fix it" yourself.

As for the forums getting mellower, maybe it is partially because vehicles are getting more generic. There are some exceptions, but for many there really isn't much to argue about these days, or at least enough to get worked up about.
I'm more polite, you get 2 smiley faces, and you'll get another one if you don't screw up the instructions in my book.

Forgot about the SUV forum.

The actual bodywork looks good, at least from 10'. But I don't know what I'm looking for.
Hey, after my deer incident and the wife getting hit 4.5 weeks later, the adjuster and I are on a first name basis.
But it would help if they'd do the work in the first place and it's irritating that they let me have the van back when it should have been pretty obvious to a body shop that the door was out of whack.
I need to retire so I'd have time to go camp out on their lawn and compose some registered letters to the insurance company about good faith and our safety.
I often get the impression that Edmunds would just as soon we all went away, but, as always, I could be wrong.

At the very least, we're savvy enough to know where to look it up!!

Oh, I certainly remember the SUV thread. Almost drove me out of here. There was one poster, I don't remember the name, who would post disparaging remarks about suvs and their owners, I'd make a logical argument that he'd actually concede to, but then go back to his old ways the next day. After maybe a half dozen times of this circle, I unsubscribed.

1) Act as a security camera so we might catch bad guys one day,
and,
2)We can get rid of the speed bump at the stop sign and just fine people $25 if they don't stop. Could be a big revenue producer.

Then of course we had the dark days of the Great Granularity Grind, when existing forums were broken up into minute topics. That was so bad I actually got banned from the topic regarding the Forums themselves, but thankfully not the rest of it. IIRC I called out some now long-departed bigwig for claiming the move to granularity resulted in increased traffic. Good times.
